| If Nikola Tesla Were Alive Today, What Would His Stereo Look (and, Sound) Like? @curiousjim "The only thing I know for sure is it would run on AC current.😁" That's for sure. But, I'll bet Edison is smiling out there somewhere knowing how much AC is converted to DC inside those boxes. | |
| New sound immersion processes The Comfortably Numb Dolby Atmos rendition on BluRay doesn't suck. | |
| Show off! @clearthinker In our car audio days (1980s) we were invited to display our demo vehicle (Mazda 626 Turbo with 2-18"subs) in a shopping mall. After being very polite and a good neighbor for a couple of hours, I just couldn’t help slipping in the ... | |
| Show off! @roxy54 The Blood Sweat & Tears (first album) was my first introduction to "real" high fidelity. It was in the showroom of David Beatty Stereo in Kansas City, MO. Macintosh amp/preamp (MX113/MC2015?) and ESS AMT1s. It was just "clear" beyond... | |
| It was 61 years ago today... My dad had just purchased a stereo with flip-down turntable and foldout speakers for us kids so my brother and I could play music in our bedroom. (Probably had nothing to do with the fact that we were playing OUR music on HIS Admiral console stere... | |
| The Dope from Hope... @sevi01 Wow!! Thanks for sharing. My affiation with Klipsch dates back to 1982. I have a 1958 Klipschorn and Small Horn in my vintage audio collection. Good to see Paul, and his rumblings, getting the respect they deserve. John | |
| Interconnect advice needed @simna Sorry the speaker toe in/out did not work well for you. I believe it was someone else who made this suggestion. " I read on another forum a post from a guy having the same problem. He got the advice to experiment with toe out." I thoug... | |
| A public service announcement @jdougs It appears that you make more rational decisions while under the influence than a lot people do when they are sober. I wish you lived closer so I could offer you a few, then take you along when I'm shopping for tools ... or meeting with... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @jerryg123 Got the sarcasm. I appreciate the comment. My (feeble) attempt at humor followed. Yeah, I'm married to a OCD hygiene individual. I get it. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? @jerryg123 ”nit picky..what is a nit anyway?” “The term originally referred to picking nits, the eggs of lice, from hair, and later to picking out the lice themselves.” You’re welcome. | |
| The Impossible Has Happened @chocaholic How about: “it looks like they copied the Titanic complete with the hole and headed out to sea.” Does this qualify? | |
| For the first time... @michaellent "it will take 92 years to play 2000 records at two hours a day." There's hope!! You might get through all 2,000 albums after all? | |
| Interconnect advice needed @simna Toeing out the speakers seems like good advice. Dynamat makes some good material that you can purchase in sheets. Just slice out what you need with a carton knife, remove the backing and stick them on. Literally takes 10 minutes per driv... | |
| UPS. Friend Or Foe? I've been on the loosing end of UPS disputes for a long time. Unfortunately, factory-supplied shipping cartons do not meet the "standards" for UPS packaging. The rule of thumb for "correct" UPS packaging is that it needs to be able to survive a ... | |
| Interconnect advice needed @simna Lots of good posts here that should point you in the right direction. I’d like to comment briefly on your statement: "I’ve just bought Klipsch Heresy IV and I don’t want the cable to emphase the midrange bump in these speakers even more."... |
